Guest guest Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Between November 2006 and May 2008, two dozen slaughterhouse workers in Minnesota and Indiana took ill with a variety of neurological and physical illnesses. Now, researchers think they know why.The medical journal Lancet Neurology describes what happened this way: "An outbreak of neurological autoimmunity with polyradiculoneuropathy in workers exposed to aerosolised porcine neural tissue."That's another way of saying the workers inhaled a mist of pig brain tissue and it made them very sick. http://blogs.citypages.com/blotter/2009/11/mist_of_pig_bra.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
